Freaky good

By KodiakSon

Legion is NOT for everybody. The storyline is sometimes non-linear, and there are many dream-like sequences. It's not surprising, since the protagonist is sometimes sedated, sometimes undergoing psychic whiplash, and sometimes fighting battles on the astral plane. This can make it hard to figure out what's going on!
So why even try? Well, the director and writers do an amazing job of creating a creepy and ominous atmosphere, as David goes from being a zonked-out institutionalized patient to something much, much more. A powerful telekinetic and telepathic mutant who has lived his whole life thinking he's mentally ill? And who then finds out something completely different is going on?? Legion is freaky good, if you stay with it.

This is one of the best series I have seen in a while

It is pretty rare paltry that there is a series that I am willing to invest time and money into watching over and over. Especially in a day and age where good shows come and go so quickly based on silly metrics at the networks.
Hands down, this is the the best Marvel series outside of Agents of Shield. I would rank it in storytelling right next to AoS if not slightly better. I hope to see a second season soon

Almost!

I almost bought the series, then I heard about the ads. Not happening. What a turn off!

Wickedly Brilliant

I don't know how Marvel manages to identify incredible talent and get them all working together to create these shows. This one is a bit different from the other Marvel shows, though. In the imagination anything can happen. Same goes for this show.
But it's not unwatchably chaotic. As long as you don't mind clever fantasy, I think you'll enjoy this one.

Spectacular

From the first episode up until its finale I was captivated and intrigued. I binged it very quickly and fell in love with it just as quick. True, it may not be everyone's cup of tea but if you are into Sci-fi or Fantasy type shows I recommend giving it a try.

Finally.

Finally, a superhero tv show with depth and rom-com subplots; a great piece. Love the entire cast and of course, the music!

X-Men it's not

Trippy but Great Show

Legion S1 is pretty trippy in the first 4 episodes but it later makes sense. The show is great, the cast does a good job, the story is a solid B, the hype is real, the tone is dark that it's so good. Watch this show and I can't wait for S2! 9.2/10

Down a dark rabbit hole ...ended up in latrine.

Began so good, and by and by went the way of psychobable, and finally (because it was losing viewers) ended up taking the "elevator to the basement" approach to drum up more of a market share into gender bending eposides, but only late in the season. So, they got a season subscription out of me. Fool me twice ... this is going to affect the shows I buy on iTunes.
Like any material offensive to many, there need to be warnings or ratings reflecting this. If there is violence or mature sexual content (including homosexuality), it should be stated or reflected in the rating. We will not support the on-going agenda of LGBT progandizing of every freakin' show out there. Nope.
